[edit] 1 History

The Armenian women, as a rule, are fine looking, with intelligent faces and womanly. This is especially noticeable in the case of old women.[2] Among the oriental races, as a rule, the old women are not handsome, but the reverse is true of the Armenian women.[2]

[edit] 1.1 Education

A large amount of Armenian and Iranian women began to be educated and politicized in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, although the majority of both populations shared similar status, roles and customs and remained traditional. [3]

[edit] 1.2 Medieval

In medieval Armenian communities, the women whose memory has been preserved are always princesses. During the Crusades, their marriages strengthened relations between the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia and the Frankish kingdoms of the Orient. Thus, the Armenian Arda, wife of Beaudoin I, became the first queen of Jerusalem (1100-1113). Also, Morfa of Melitene, another Armenian, married Baudoin II, at first, County of Edessa, than the King of Jerusalem. [4]

[edit] 1.3 Ottoman Empire

In the Ottoman Empire, until the Tanzimat era, the Armenians had to wear dark red or crimson clothes, while the Greeks wore black and the Jews blue.

In 1568, the Sultan proclaims with an edict that Armenian and Jewish women are not allowed to wear luxurious clothes, silken garments, high heeled sandals, or collars and bonnets like Muslim women.
